Been following all this quite closely. Wallet was ready if the performance justified the silly premiums, but wallet is now closed.
The whole reason to get excited about an nvidia launch was that typically the new vanilla card offered the same performance as the previous generation's Ti, but at a lower cost. This time round, the regular 2080 costs more than the 1080Ti but performance is almost identical.
Of course there's the new RTX features, but of those it seems DLSS is the only one which might offer a practical benefit anytime soon. Unfortunately no one knows yet cos there isn't any software available which takes advantage.
hmm 2080 & Ti reviews are out.
2080 is basically the same as a 1080Ti on current games, but with less VRAM. Note: none of the new fancy games seem to have been tested so I would expect the 2080 to perform better
2080Ti crushes everything, but man, that price of 1200+ is a bit crazy.
I am waiting to see how the EVGA 2080 Ti cards do
